Paroles de All this and heaven too

And the heart is hard to translateIt has a language of its ownIt talks in tongues and quiet sighsAnd prayers and proclamations

In the grandest of great menIn the smallest of gesturesIn short shallow gasps

But with all my educationI can't seem to command itAnd the words are all escapingComing back all damagedAnd i would put them back in poetry if i only knew howI can't seem to understand it and

I would give all this and heaven tooI would give it all if only for a momentThat i could just understandThe meaning of the word you seeCause i've been scrawling it foreverBut it never makes sense to me at all

And it talks to me, it tiptoesAnd it sings to me insideIt cries out in the darkest nightIt breaks in the morning light

But with all my educationI can't seem to command itAnd the words are all escapingComing back all damagedAnd i would put them back in poetry if i only knew howI can't seem to understand it and

I would give all this and heaven tooI would give it all if only for a momentThat i could just understandThe meaning of the word you seeCause i've been scrawling it foreverBut it never makes sense to me at all

Poor language it doesn't deserve such treatmentAnd all my stumbling phrases never amounted to anything worth this feelingOh this heaven, never could describe such a feeling as i knew it

Words were never so usefulSo i was screaming out a language that i never knew existed before
